ASTM A956 Standard Test Method for Leeb Hardness Testing of Steel Products

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM A956 testing. This test method covers the determination of the Leeb hardness of steel, cast steel and cast iron (Part A).

Leeb hardness testing, ASTM A956, is a dynamic or rebound method that determines Leeb hardness by comparing the rebound rate with the impact rate of a tungsten carbide ball or diamond tipped impact body. This portable approach is mostly used to determine if a workpiece is large enough. Calculates the return coefficient. The Leeb hardness of steel, cast steel and cast iron is determined by ASTM A956 and the results are indicative of strength and depend on the heat treatment of the material under consideration.
